Metasploit Open Source Office Hours: Vegas 2019
The Metasploit crew at Rapid7 is headed out to Las Vegas for DEF CON 27,
bringing a new incarnation of the Open Source Security Meetup (OSSM) with us! We
will have a Metasploit Suite at Bally’s this year, where we’ll be hosting “Open
Source Office Hours” (OSOH). If you’ll be out in Vegas for DEF CON 27, take a
moment and ask yourself:
* Are you currently working on a Metasploit module/payload and could use some
guidance?
* Are you modifying Framework and you’d like to discuss?
* Are you w

We hope our American friends had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend! There are
no new modules this week, so instead we're featuring two enhancements that fix
some long outstanding Framework bugs. Check out last week’s holiday wrap-up for
a list of the modules that landed while the U.S. was watching fireworks.

Injecting the Time Machine
From contributor timwr [https://github.com/timwr] comes a new module targeting
Time Machine on macOS 10.14.3 and earlier. Specifically, the tmdiagnose binary
for these vulnerable versions suffers from a command injection vulnerability
that can be exploited via a specially crafted disk label. This new module uses
an existing session for exploitation on the target, allowing the Framework user
to run a payload as root.

I am Root
An exploit module [https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/11987]
for Nagios XI v5.5.6 was added by community contributor yaumn
[https://github.com/yaumn]. This module includes two exploits chained together
to achieve code execution with root privileges, and it all happens without
authentication. A single unsanitized parameter in magpie_debug.php enables the
ability to write arbitrary PHP code to a publicly accessible directory and get
code execution. Privilege escalation

It’s Summertime, and the Hackin’ is Easy
It is still early in the season, but there’s a whole lot of fixes that are
already shipping. Straight off a week of intellectual synergy from the
world-wide hackathon, we started to fix a lot of things we noticed while we
coded over street tacos and Austin-famous beverages. All told, this week we made
Metasploit more inclusive, transparent, and configurable!

BSD love
Outside of macOS, not many people run (or run into) a BSD-flavored system very
often. Even still, bcoles [https://github.com/bcoles] and space-r7
[https://github.com/space-r7] teamed up for a pair of BSD enhancements. The
first, a privilege escalation, affects FreeBSD's runtime linker dealing with
LD_PRELOAD in FreeBSD 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0. The next enhancement adds BSD targets
to our known-credential ssh executor which now allows BSD-specific payloads. Not
wanting macOS to be left out ti
